Temperature response of Earth to the annual solar irradiance cycle
arXiv:astro-ph/0403271 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2004.01.066
Abstract
We directly determine the sensitivity and time delay of Earth's surface temperature response to annual solar irradiance variations from 60 years of data. A two-layer energy balance model is developed to interpret the results. Explaining both the resulting low sensitivity and time delay of 1-2 months requires negative feedback.
